Shared with full patient consent

This lovely lady came in yesterday struggling with severe right-leg swelling and has been reliant on her wheelchair.

After a combined treatment session with Louise and Yescica — including Fascial Manipulation-Stecco, Shockwave, Electromagnetic therapy and Laser — she was able to stand and walk unaided in the video (not perfect, but without crutches or her wheelchair which is a big win🙌).

We will continue supporting her through our MSK pathway to keep building mobility and reducing swelling.

If you are struggling with ongoing leg pain or swelling, we are here to help.

Your Body Is Your 'Physical Pension' Pot

Our podiatrist Neil shares a powerful reminder — to be grateful for what our bodies can do: walk, hike, run, move.

Neil believes in treating your body like a pension pot — something you invest in now to make life more comfortable later.

Whether you are recovering from injury, dealing with pain, or just trying to get moving again, investing in your physical pension brings results you can feel — strength, confidence, freedom.

🌟 Bryce’s Incredible Next Step! 🌟

Following last week’s breakthrough working on his left side, today Louise has been focusing on the right side using Level 2 Fascial Manipulation (Stecco method) — this time targeting proprioception

The results? Absolutely amazing.
Bryce is now standing square and centred - he feels amazing and can feel his weight distributed evenly for the first time

Powerful, emotional moment for everyone.

🌟 Transformative Progress for Bryce 🌟

Meet Bryce, born with cerebral palsy, which has majorly affected the left side of his body (and to a lesser degree, the right).

Through a combination of extensive fascial manipulation (Stecco) and spasticity-reduction focused electromagnetic therapy, the difference in his movement and control is truly unbelievable.

For the first time ever, Bryce has been able to put his full weight through his left side — a huge milestone and an incredibly emotional moment

We are so proud of his determination and grateful to play a part in his journey

Did you know low oestrogen during menopause can affect more than mood and sleep?

It also impacts tendons, cartilage, and joint health — often causing pain that affects mobility and daily life.

In this video, our Vascular Nurse, Debbie, shares her experience and how understanding these changes helped her take back control of her health.

At Gold Standard Foot & Leg Clinic, we offer treatments that can support recovery and reduce pain, including:
- Shockwave Therapy
- Laser Therapy
- Focused Electromagnetic Therapy
- Fascial Manipulation (Stecco)

Menopause affects every woman differently — but you don’t have to live with pain
